One Last Hurdle

We finally met with the cardiologist today. Although the PDA is still present it is small, and at this time doesn't require surgery! She said that the flow is in the correct direction, he doesn't have any enlargement on the left side, his lungs aren't as wet as in the past, and he continues to grow. All of these are good things:) We will see her again in two months for a follow-up to see if he may need a less invasive procedure if the PDA is still there.

Our hope was that after we got this news we would have a conversation about a possible discharge date, but no dice. The last goal he has to meet is not needing any oxygen for feedings. He is getting much more coordinated and we're hoping they do another trial off during feedings this weekend. After that it should be only another week or so. Keeping our fingers crossed!
